Just To See Her
Smokey Robinson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just to see her
Just to touch her
Just to hold her in my arms again one more time

If I could feel her warm embrace
See her smiling face
Can't find anyone to take her place
I've got to see her again

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again

I can't hide it no
I can't fight it
It's so hard to live without the love she gave to me

Doesn't she know it
I tried hard not to show it
Can't I make her realize that she really needs me again

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
Made me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay
I've got to see her again

(Just to see her)
I want to see her
(Just to see her)
Hold her hold her hold her
(Just to see her) see her
Just to touch her
Touch her

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
Makes me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay (today)
I've got to see her again

(Just to see her) it would it would it would
(Just to see her) make me feel so good
(Just to see her)if I if I could only see her again
Just see her again
Just to see her theres nothin' I wouldn't do
Just to see her oh don't you know its true
Just to see her (if I could only see her again oh)

The lyrics to Smokey Robinson's song "Just To See Her" express a deep longing for an ex-lover. The singer is so consumed with thoughts of her that he would do anything, go anywhere, just to catch a glimpse of her again. He can't hide or fight the feelings he has for her, and it's clear that he misses the warmth of her embrace, the sight of her smiling face, and the way she made him feel good every day. The chorus is repeated several times as a message to the listener of just how much he desires to see her again.


The song highlights the vulnerability of love and how it can linger long after a relationship has ended. The lyrics capture the raw emotion of heartbreak and the power of memories to keep old flames burning. Robinson's smooth vocals and the song's gentle melody help to convey the tenderness of the moment and the depth of the singer's feelings.

"Just To See Her"

Just to see her, just to touch her
Just to hold her in my arms again one more time
If I could feel her warm embrace see her smiling face
Can't find anyone to take her place I've got to see her again

I would do anything, I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do just to see her again

I can't hide it, I can't fight it
It's so hard to live without the love she gave to me
Doesn't she know it, I tried hard not to show it
Can't I make her realize that she really needs me again

I would do anything, I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday made me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay, I've got to see her again

I just loss my spouse of 20 years about 3 weeks ago to Stave IV cancer. This song tells exactly how I am feeling right now. It hurts that she was sedated the last five days of her life, so I have no idea how much of what I tried to say registered with her. Hearing this made me break down crying again, because I miss her so much. RIP Julie. You're the best!! ❤❤❤

@dovardross7336

I know your pain and feelings. Every time I hear this and “Being With You” my thoughts go to my wife, ❤️Misao, of fifty-five years who lost her battle with cancer in 2014.

Life isn’t fair!

@JY-cm9bc

I am sure that she heard every word you said when I was in the hospital and sedated I could hear everything she knows that you love her rest easy

@christopherthomas789
